Stew Meat Chili is a great meal on a cold day. It is hearty like a stew but in a chili. Using the instant pot makes this pretty quick dinner.

Stew meat is one of those meats that needs to be cooked a while to get it tender enough to eat. However, pressure cooking does that for us quickly. Aren’t we all thankful pressure cooking has become so easy.

How do you make stew meat tender?

Cooking stew meat low and slow like in a slow cooker will tenderize stew meat. You can also cook it in a dutch oven in the oven. My favorite way is to cook it in the instant pot. It is much faster.

Stew meat is pretty versatile. You can use it lots of different dishes. Some ideas are Beef & Broccoli, Tacos, Stroganoff, and Chile Colorado Burritos.

If you are wanting this amazing chili but you don’t have an instant pot. You can make it with ground beef and you will find that recipe as The Hardworking Husband’s Chili.
